Buck... one thing I couldn't figure out was after you glued the 2 halves of tumbles hands together how did you shape the fingers so they were smooth? did you sand them or something ? or did you put material over them like a glove or something? I couldnt see them up close enough to make out how...

well I got an answering machine when I called. Hopefully they will get back to me soon. I like collecting all these patterns then taking what I like from each one to build my own works.

Buck has a tutorial I'm looking for that has partial instructions on making a puppet. I can't remember where they are cause I like his design for making the hands much better than any I've seen. Buck If you read this could you post a link? I think it was his design anyway. It had wires in the...

You know the best way to settle a :grouchy: forum fight?.......................FOODFIGHT!!!:crazy:

Thats great! Get a puppet built and post a pick or two. seems even the critics here are mostly very constructive. Happy building! I might get that pattern myself just so I can say I have it. I wonder if OWS changed the look of their rod arm puppets any when they wrote these new instructions...

Awesome info Buck! thanks for the links and info. Very valuable.

The problem I found with triangles is that if you don't have them cut absolutely perfect, (to a tee) you have holes or cracks between the foam in places compromising its integrity. Should you get them perfect and lined up perfect, I'd definately say it would be strong. What kind of glue do you...

Well what if once you got that general shape you just sanded it smooth with a disk sander? Then it would still have the solidity of structure without the dart points. What do you think? Shouldn't take much more than a slight touch with a sander at each point.

Thanks Mr. Chapman

ah ha! I figured out how to post a pic of what I was trying so hard to explain. Check this out and see If it would make a rounder head. http://www.angelfire.com/comics/puppetbuilder/ I'd recommend the use of a templete to assure that the angles match up properly. This drawing is just a sketch...

what difference does it make anyhow? weather they are authentic ALP or not, they look just like em and are very nice so thanks for the tip fishbone. and a great price too.

AH thanks larry. I understand what you mean now. I don't want to muffin this thread so do you have an email address?

Hey do you have any finished pictures of tumbles? How about a tutorial on putting the fur on tumbles and maybe more pictures? I like the info u did give though. Thanks :)
